PR94256
MELBOURNE, Australia, Jan. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
CRRC Corporation Limited ("CRRC", 1766.HK) announced that four additional
second-generation SDA1 Locomotives have shipped to Australia in January, as
part of the supply order between CRRC Ziyang, the subsidiary of CRRC, and SCT
Logistics, a leading Australian freight service company, to provide CRRC's
energy-efficient and powerful locomotives for the country's railway system.
The upgraded 3150kW AC transmission diesel (SDA1) locomotive, fully developed
by CRRC Ziyang, features low operation noise (less than 75 decibels inside),
capable of hauling 8,000 tons at a top speed of 120 km/h, and meeting the
strict requirements of Australia's railway industry as a reliable and
environmentally-friendly transportation assistant to help the nation accelerate
its economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.
Since 2021, CRRC Ziyang has supplied twelve second-generation SDA1 Locomotives
to SCT Logistics, which are used for bulk cargo and container transport. The
current order is the third SDA1 Locomotive contract signed between CRRC Ziyang
and SCT since 2010, with the first batch comprising six first-generation SDA1
Locomotives delivered to Australia in 2011.
The second-generation SDA1 Locomotives come with an optimized ventilation
system and higher maintainability, delivering greater comfort to the driver
while significantly improving the overall performance of the unit. The arrival
of the four new locomotives will bring the total number of SDA1 operating in
Australia to thirty, with the first unit having achieved the milestone of a
million kilometers of mileage so far.
Equipped with a suite of state-of-the-art technologies including Insulated Gate
Bipolar Transistors (IGBT) propulsion system, a microcomputer control system,
FastBrake® Electronic Air Brake and more, the second-generation SDA1 Locomotive
marks one of the greatest technological innovations of CRRC, which allows
considerable savings in energy consumption and lowers the operating costs
without compromising its horsepower and haulage capacity. Fast, safe, and
energy-efficient, it is designed and built in line with a range of
international emission standards such as the European Union's Stage III, AAR,
and Australia's UIC.
The second-generation houses some of CRRC's latest innovations in locomotives,
tailored to the characteristics of Australia's railway system as well as local
environment. With its expertise in locomotive technology, CRRC hopes to bring
more high quality, high-performance products to Australian companies and users
in the future.
With more than 15 years in the railway sector, CRRC Ziyang's dedication to the
development of locomotive engineering, matched by a global supply chain and
extensive knowledge of a wide variety of industries, has made it a valuable
partner that has provided high-quality products for 32 countries. Over the past
few years, the Company has exported 1,035 locomotives to other countries,
representing above 50% of the total volume of diesel locomotives exported from
China.
